A bit of a slow start to the day, as breakfast was provided by the hotel, starting at 8, but apparently someone forgot to tell the server who showed up at 8:20! He was, however very helpful in getting us a taxi to ferry our bags to the next hotel.
Once we were on our way, it was pretty much smooth sailing thereafter. This was a stellar day in terms of scenery and walking. We had a great variety of terrain, from paths through forests, to walks through residential areas, beach paths, through small towns, most of it following right along the coast. Lots of ups and downs today, which tested the old legs!! The weather was a mixture of just about everything: cloudy, sunshine, a bit of a sprinkle, and lots of wind. On the way we saw lots of sea birds, including cormorants, as well as a bevy of seals basking on the rocks offshore. There were plenty of ruins of castles and churches and sea walls, a fairy garden (Google Alice’s Fairy Garden, East Wemyss), a wall of mosaic art, sea caves (including one once used as a dovecote) We stopped at a supermarket (Morrison’s) and picked up some lunch fare, which we ate in the shelter of a sea wall right on the coast.
Once we reached our accommodations in Buckhaven, we popped out to pick up some things from the local shop for breakfast (the place we were staying was a B&B, without the second B!) We then headed down to pick up some takeaway to eat back at the house. Tried an excellent pink grapefruit cider to go with my chicken breast and salad. Our host, John, popped up with four bowls of homemade soup to add to our dinner. Good end to a great day!
